1. A system, comprising:
a pyrolysis reactor configured to receive feedstock and produce a liquid fuel and a gaseous fuel;
an electrolysis unit configured to convert water to oxygen and hydrogen;
a combustion turbine configured to receive the liquid fuel from the pyrolysis reactor and the oxygen from the electrolysis unit, to produce electrical power for use by the electrolysis unit, and produce a turbine exhaust;
a cycle unit configured to heat feed water using the turbine exhaust;
a boiler configured to convert the heated feed water from the cycle unit into steam and supply the steam to the combustion turbine to control a temperature of combustion of the liquid fuel; and
a dryer configured to use heated exhaust produced with the boiler and/or the turbine exhaust to dry the feedstock before the feedstock is introduced to the pyrolysis reactor.
